A lightweight fight between Dennis Hallman (51-14-2 MMA, 4-5 UFC) and Thiago Tavares (17-4-1 MMA, 7-4-1 UFC) is back on the August card after a short move to the September UFC 151 event.

UFC officials on Wednesday confirmed the bout’s spot on UFC 150 in Denver. MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) earlier this month reported the fight had moved from UFC 150 to UFC 151. Now it is back in its original home.

UFC 150 takes place Aug. 11 at Pepsi Center in Denver. The main card airs on pay-per-view and features a lightweight title rematch between champion Benson Henderson and former champ Frankie Edgar. Prelims air on FX and stream on Facebook.

UFC 151 is set for Sept. 1 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas with a main event light heavyweight title fight between champion Jon Jones and former Strikeforce champ Dan Henderson.

Hallman in December submitted John Makdessi at UFC 140 in Toronto to get back in the win column after a first-round TKO loss to Brian Ebersole at UFC 133. The veteran is 8-2 in his past 10 fights.

Hallman was scheduled to fight “The Ultimate Fighter 13″ winner Tony Ferguson at UFC on FOX 3 in May, but was forced to withdraw with an injury. His replacement was Tavares, who then was forced out, as well.

Tavares has won back-to-back fights against Spencer Fisher at UFC 134 and Sam Stout at UFC 142. Both those fights took place in his native Brazil. Before the win streak, Tavares was knocked out by Shane Roller at UFC on Versus 3.
